Lots of new love for the GSM users in this release, but in reading feedback from the testers it appears that there's still a few lingering data bugs for the GSM guys so we'll work on getting them worked out. This new build still has lots of back-end features that are a vast improvement over r290 so might as well get it into your hands anyway. This build also took a few days longer than we expected since we wanted to address a lot of your bugs/requests, and we also discovered several naughty things that Samsung was doing. Synergy member TrevE has some rather important info about all that in a post in our Verizon thread which YOU MUST READ. Link here

Long time followers of Synergy will know that we always go one level deeper in the types of mods we cook into our ROMs. And many of you know that we've always been against unauthorized user logging in phones. In fact it was our own TrevE who was behind the CarrierIQ scandal last year in which we caught CIQ and carriers logging everything from keypresses to reading your text messages to screenlogging.

Well Samsung isn't quite in the clear either, we've discovered. Their root checking service is doing some shady things that TrevE will detail in the post I linked above. The good news is we've now fully bypassed all of Samsung's root checking services in this build. It also turns out that Samsung's cheating in benchmarks by intentionally optimizing databases used only by benchmark apps. So we hijacked their code to apply to all DBs making SynergyROM faster than ever. Also, we've created a new option in AROMA to bypass the setup screen...

When you choose this option please be advised that the setup screen will still load for 15-20 seconds while the phone sets its initial props. Once this process is completed the setup screen will close itself

...This option will also spoof provisioning on your phone so that your carrier does not detect an excessive amount of provisioning. Once again, please read TrevE's post linked above for important info regarding this option. You GSM guys should all use this "skip provisioning" option in AROMA every flash. We've told CDMA users the same.

We've also added new options to the AROMA installer, EFS backup for all users, FC fixes, new options to the date/time menu courtesy of Didact74 who took the time to mod them for Synergy himself. He's quickly becoming one of the S3's best smali devs. We've also got lots of fixes for the GSM guys, including proper CSC settings and wifi fixes, and finally an updated Ziggy kernel.

Coming back to that EFS option real quick, we've added in something cool here for you guys: If you choose to backup hardware keys during flash, we will back up the appropriate IMEI and hardware keys and save a flashable zip for you in the /sdcard/synergyrom/ folder. If you ever lose IMEI permanently, you can just flash this zip in recovery and get IMEI back. Pretty awesome. Be advised, however, that those of you seeing temporary IMEI loss with this ROM do not need to use this option as you are only losing it for a few moments cuz the APNs are freaking out, not because you've actually lost your EFS partitions. If you can reboot and get IMEI back then there is no need to use this flashable zip - it's only for times when you're really screwed. We originally created this for the Verizon guys since there was a time when flashing CM10 on a VZW S3 wiped IMEI forever, so we made our ROM back it up for you. We've now just extended that option to all carriers.

And yes, we even took the extra time to add an option to turn on lockscreen rotation in AROMA. Default is now no lockscreen rotation.
